It’s Just A Show

189b. Toothpicks and Glue. [MST3K: The Web Series & MST3K: The Comic.]


Listen Later

MST3K: The Web Series (a.k.a “The ’Bots Are Back”) hit our web browers in 2007, about halfway between the end of MST3K’s original run and the beginning of the Netflix seasons. MST3K: The Comic hit comic book stores right before season 12 dropped. Both experiment with MST3K in new formats, but one is significantly more successful than the other. Chris and Charlotte investigate.

Show Notes.

MST3K: The Web Series was quickly taken offline, but you can find it on YouTube.

MST3K: The Comic was published by Portland’s own Dark Horse Comics. It ran for six issues, and was collected in a trade paperback.

Homestar Runner began in 2000. When the MST3K web series came out, they were up to sbemail 183.

MST3K: The Comic mostly riffs on:

  • Johnny Jason, Teen Reporter 2 (1962)
  • Black Cat 2 (1946)
  • Black Cat 3 (1946)
  • Black Cat 5 (1947)
  • Horrific 1 (1952)
  • Horrific 2 (1952)
  • Horrific 3 (1953)
  • Henry Nilsson: A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night.
